A Burden Shared: Eric & Zongzhu
《分担: 庆祥和棕柱》

"I didn’t want to be a burden to my family. A voice next to my ear said: Just jump!" - Huang Zongzhu

"我不想成为家庭的负担. 耳边有一个声音: 你跳下去吧!" - 黄棕柱

Zongzhu found himself at one of life's lowest posts after a serious accident which left him temporarily unable to walk. During this time, he met Eric whose hospitality and care eventually inspired Zongzhu to pay it forward by going the extra mile for a fellow brother in need.

在一次严重事故后，棕柱发现自己暂时无法行走。这导致他陷入了生命中最低谷的时刻。在这段期间，他遇见了庆祥。庆祥对棕柱的热情款待不仅让他们成为要好的朋友，庆祥的关怀最终激发了棕柱为需要帮助的同胞付出额外的帮助。
